Pick DisplayCAL if…
DisplayCAL suits people who need to calibrate or profile displays and have a supported measurement instrument. Its multi-display support and video 3D LUT tools may also suit more involved color workflows.
Pick PatternSpace if…
PatternSpace suits display calibrators, reviewers, video engineers and home theater installers who need predictable pattern output from a Mac. It is a pattern source rather than a display-measurement or automatic-correction tool.
